Moto X Features Leaked in a Video

In a latest video leaked by Rogers, some of Moto X phone's features are highlighted.

Moto X, Google-Motorola’s first smartphone has managed to have us on tip-toes even before the official announcement! While the phone is no longer a rumoured smartphone and will definitely come with some strong specifications, the exact features are kept under wraps with Motorola just letting us have glimpses of some unique features.

In a latest video leaked by Rogers, some of the phone’s features are highlighted.

Apparently, Moto X smartphone will come with Google’s Voice Assistant which will work by default. Just like Apple’s Siri voice feature Google’s Voice Assistant will function on Moto X. The smartphone will also come with an open Mic which will work in the Google Glass style and accept voice commands. The Open Mic will always stay on and function just like Google Glasses. According to the video, Moto X incorporates Google Now and learns the voice of the owner to respond to queries posed to the smartphone.

__GOOGLEADCODE__Apart from the open mic, Moto X is also said to include ‘Active Updates’. Active updates are where on recieveing a notification, there’s a part of the screen activated to show you what the message might be. It is not unlike the old feature phones where the entire screen would light up on receiving a message. However, while Moto X needs to save power and prevents the entire screen from lighting up, a small part of the screen displays the notification icon. The screen-saver is activated for a couple of seconds without unlocking the phone and after a few blinks, the phones goes back in the standby mode.

Another interesting feature is the camera. There are multiple gesture features smartphone makers try to incorporate in smartphones. While Samsung comes with the air-wave gesture, Micromax went a step ahead and included the blow-to-unlock feature for their Canvas 4. Similarly, Moto X will come with flick-wrist feature. Flicking the wrist will activate the camera and assist you in clicking pictures. Just flick the wrist twist and the camera is instantly activated. Also, adding to camera features is that the camera comes without a shutter key. You just click anywhere on the screen to capture a picture. Also, holding the picture for a little longer enables clicking of multiple images. However, we are not sure how the focus of the Moto X functions and if the phone complete skips the manual focus.

According to the video, the smartphone is set to be launched in August and will be available in two shades, white and black.
